My very first abortion question....?

Question

When did abortion become everyone's business?

I saw a bumper sticker on some old lady's car that said "A person's a person, no matter how small" (Dr Seuss). I was just thinking....why? Why is it your business if someone chooses to get an abortion? Does it really effect you if someone gets an abortion?

Your thoughts please :)

Answer 1

Yes it does.  My grandchildren are watching.

Answer 2

I'm not one of those people who would yell at you for getting an abortion, and it wouldn't effect me, but I still think it's really wrong to get an abortion, I mean come on, if you like animals so you won't eat meat, or you don't like even seeing people in real fur coats, you're just crazy if you're all right with people having their babies killed just because they were too lazy to deal with them.

Answer 3

Your personal decision about life may not immediately effect another personally, however, it will effect everyone over the long term.  If your state or country decides abortions are okay, then how much longer before killing older citizens okay.  How much longer after that will it be okay to kill those with a physical or mental handicap?  How much longer after that will it be okay to kill someone who is of a religion that the majority does not follow.

This already has happened in another country.  We know it as the Holocaust.

Yes a decision about human life eventually effects everyone.

Answer 4

I have no problem with people who feel abortion is morally wrong. They can think whatever they want. I don't care. The problem arises when they think the government should put their grubby little paws into it.

Last time I checked it sure as h**l effects the child being killed.

Or the Father losing a child.

So it was'nt my business my daughter was murdered?

See the heartlessness of choicers?

Maybe it also was'nt my business my wife killed herself because of the abortion?

I'm sick of you black hearted excuses for humans.

Answer 6

Oh no kiki, you joined in on the abortion fun :(.  

Well, it doesn't affect me personally but you know how it is.  Everyone is fast to talk about how wrong a person from the outside but when the issues are personal, they can't take criticism. :P   But that old lady just wanted to express her opinion...just like some loser who has a Laker's team logo on their car or something or a person who would have "WWJD" (What would Jesus Do?).  Good 'ole constitution of free speech.

Answer 7

When feminists shoved it into the public limelight.

Answer 8

Yes it affects us all. It is a sign of the moral decay that will be our downfall. People adopt all the time.

Answer 9

well, the fetus isn't really alive yet. only when it's born will it be killed if you kill it. but when you get an aborton, it's just a growing fetus, not alive yet.

i personally think it's very wrong though, unless, you really x351 need to do it.

Answer 10

I agree with you.  Everyone seems to have opinions about abortions, but those who are pro-life offer no solutions to the unwanted children who are born.  They don't go out and adopt them, or rescue them from neglectful, abusive "parents".  I would rather see a woman choose abortion than a baby be born to  live a life of abuse and neglect, molestation, torture...and in some cases murder.

Answer 11

I think people should be allowed to hold opinions on anything they want, regardless of whether or not it personally affects them. Judgement or discrimination is wrong, freedom of thought and expression is not.

After all, don't most of us have strong opinions against child abuse even though it doesn't personally affect us?

This answer isn't specifically related to abortion, because I'm unsure of my exact stance on the issue. But I think we all have a right to opinions, and a right to express them. Think of all the positive changes campaigners have made for society, like an end to slavery, which was once legal and and acceptable.

Answer 12

God says its wrong, so it is.

Answer 13

It only affects the person getting the abortion. Society just wants to be in everyone's business. It's mostly a religious issue with people nowadays, though.

Answer 14

some believe it's murder and murder is illegal.

i'm not one of them, btw.

Answer 15

i think if the world was exactly the same but men got pregnant that there wouldn't even be a discussion on abortion in America.  i don't think a whole bunch of men in a room can vote on something like that--when ain't no of them ever been pregnant in their lives.  its a decision that WOMAN have to make BUT live with that decision for the rest of their lives.  YES IT IS KILLING but you never know the situation--whether it is just unplanned or rape(stranger, date, of family member)..Some people can't afford it or don't want it--and i think that if ur child is destined to live in poverty or outcast then just save it from its misery.  i mean--who wants a stranger's rape baby??? from some man u've neva met and that has who knows kinds of mental/family histories--i mean really--its kinda sickening...

Answer 16

um.....it doesn't personally affect me if you get an abortion. But it also doesn't personally affect me if you kill your boyfriend. But if you killed your boyfriend, you would go to jail.....some people think that abortion is the same as murder and that it shouldn't be legal. Personally, I do not agree with abortion. But it's your business.

Answer 17

Everything everyone does is everyone's business. That's the way the world is nowadays.

Answer 18

I think that it isnt their buisness, but i think that they should still lower the abortion limit because babies still live. Women should still ALWAYS have a right to do what they think is best.

This is the first question i have answered

Answer 19

Oh everyone feels they've got to have their fingers in everyone's pies nowadays.....do what you need to and as long as you feel good about your decisions, then no one else matters.
